I have an 05 FXD, stage 4 SE kit, Bassani Pro Streets, 94hp, 94tq. Love the look of the Bassani`s,, and the sound, but I`ve moved to the big city (downtown Baltimore) and I'm looking for a (somewhat) quieter exhaust without giving up any flow or power. I want to stick with a stepped header design, but a 2:1 instead of the 2:2 like the Pro Streets. I'm looking seriously at the new Bassani Road Rage 2 (short #1D5250B) or Vance and Hines` Competition Series(75-108-9), or maybe something from Hacker. (I know the VH isn`t designed for my bike, but I guess that`s just a matter of making a new hanger bracket, right?) Any thoughts on whether either of these pipes will make any difference in sound or power? Any other pipe suggestions? Thanks in advance.

 

SuperTrapps are pretty quiet and make good power. They're f@cking expensive though.

 

Lots of options for pipes, and you will get tons of responses all with different answers.

I would recommend the RB Racing LSR 2into1 with some baffles.

 

I like the LSR`s. I can get them with a baffle? And I`ve thought about the Supertrapp but I like the looks of a shorter pipe

 

They don't sell baffles, but there are some companies out there that will make baffles to order, you just need the ID (inside diameter) of the pipe and length at that diameter.

But being me I would not attempt to baffle an LSR, unless I talked to RB Racing about it first.

 

I just put the Road Rage II on my bike, and it is in no way quiet, pretty loud actually. If you want quiet, I would stay away from it.

 

Is MD stringent on noise levels?

 

supertrapp supermeg. The short pipes you listed will be loud. IMO my fatcat is pretty quiet. At least at idle and cruising. Same with a thunderheader.

 

I`m not really looking for `quiet`, just `quieter`. Good Apollo, any idea how the Road Rage 2 compares to the Pro Streets? Any quieter, or about the same? Or the Vance and Hines vs Pro Streets? And thanks everybody for the input, I hope I can return the favor sometime.
